Infamous 'looter' and social media influencer Meatball learns her fate in a Philadelphia courtroom after she livestreamed mayhem last year

A Philadelphia influencer, who livestreamed a looting spree in the city last year, has been sentence to five years of probation and over 100 hours of community service, but avoids jail. 

Dajiya Blackwell, also known as Meatball on social media, 22, was charged with burglary, conspiracy, criminal trespass, riot, criminal mischief, criminal use of communication facility, receipt of stolen property and disorderly conduct after a widespread looting in Philadelphia in October. 

The looting had started after a judge dismissed all charges against a former police officer who shot and killed Eddie Irizarry - a 27-year-old man who had been pulled over for 'driving erratically'. 

Blackwell had livestreamed the looting and asked her Instagram followers to join her as she ran through the street.  

Blackwell will complete 150 hour of community service, pay a $10,000 and serve her probation as part of her sentencing.

The influencer, who has close to 100,000 followers on Instagram, took to social media to celebrate her sentencing. 

In one clip, she is seen smiling and laughing as she says: 'Never coming back to this place again!'. 

She also shared an anecdote about her court appearance, in which she said the judge asked her what the writing on her necklace read. 

'Baddies', Blackwell responded, but then laughed and said 'we need to switch that and make it say "goodies" okay?'. 

In a separate slide, she said: 'I just want to take the time out to say thanks to my lawyer and my supporters...if it wasn't for y'all, I'd probably be gone'. 

In the heat of the riot, Blackwell turned to her 181,000 Instagram followers and filmed a mob as they looted each name brand store, before moving on to a liquor store where she herself boasted about grabbing a bottle of Hennessy

Jessica Mann, Blackwell's lawyer, defended her client and said the decision to livestream was 'nothing more than capturing the raw reality of public outrage'

Following her arrest in October, Blackwell - who was released on a $25,000 bail - had brazenly begged her fans to pay for a lawyer and urged people to buy clothing and hats from her brand. 

Her lawyer, Jessica Mann, slammed the backlash Blackwell received, writing on social media: 'It sickens me to witness the media's complicity in what can only be described as an all-out assault on black and brown people, as their character and actions are mercilessly vilified.'

Mann also criticized the media for posting her mugshot with 'tears streaming down her face and her hair a mess'. 

Blackwell, however, uploaded her mugshot as her profile picture on social media.
